P0221 Throttle switch "B" circuit performance

P0381 Glowplug lamp  non operational

P0221 is the idle validation switch, it is to signal the ECM that the vehicle is in idle.the common cause is  a open circuit to the IVS switch,  to a blown fuse #19 which is a 10 amp fuse, If this fuse has open then the glow plug wait to start lamp will not illuminate, and you code up P0221, The glow plug lamp is a independent function from the glow plug relay. The first step in solving P0221 and P0381 is to inspect the fuse number 19 in the engine fuse junction box.
